FURTHER INFORMATION:
The City of Adelaide is inviting the community to be among the first in 29 years to step onto the former Le Cornu site in North Adelaide.

Council acquired the site in February and is keen to make it accessible to the community in the short-term while assessing options for its long-term redevelopment.

Sunday’s community celebration will be a fun day out for all ages and a unique way for local traders and residents to explore the site and register to have input into its redevelopment.

The event will include a range of free family entertainment, with food and drinks available for purchase onsite.

More information about the event and how community members can register their interest in the project are available at www.cityofadelaide.com.au/88OC

All media welcome for photos, footage and interviews.
